"TOO MANY OF WEI"

"Mamtna, is there too many of we!'
The little girl asked with sigh.
"Perhaps you wouldn't be tired. you see,
If few of your childs could die"
She was only three years o!d,-the one
Who spoke in that strange, sad way,
AS she saw her mothers impatient frown
At ths childrens boisterous play.
There were half-a-dozen who round her stood
And the mother was sick and poor,
Worn out with the care of the noisy brood
And the fight with the wolf at the door.
Fer a smile or kiss, no time, no place;
For the little one, least of all;
And the shadow that darkened the mothers
face
Der the young life seemed to fall.
More thoughtful than any, she felt more care
And pondered in childish way
How to tighten the burden she could not share.
Growing heavier day by day.
Only week, and the little Claire
In her tiny white trundle-bed
Lay with blue eyes closed and the sunny hair
Cut close from the golden head.
Don't cry" she said and the words were low,
Feeling tears that she could not see,-
4sYou won't have to work and be tired so
When there amt so many of we."
But the dear little daughter who went away
From the home that for once was stilled,
Showed the mothers heart, from that dreary
day,
what place she had always filled.

PHILOSOPHY OF UNIvERsALIsN

PHILOSOPHY OF UNIVERSALISM
or Reasons for Our Faith. By Rev.
L. d. Williamson, ID. d. 12mo. Paper
covers. So pages. 25 cents.
A compact and logical little work de-
voted to the following subjects: The Uni
versalism of Reason, Nature, Experience,
Unity and Sympathy, Cause and Effect,
and the Universalism of the Old and the
New Testaments, with closing chapter
on the Utility of Uniyersalism. DR.. Will

among such themes as these, and some
of his strongest writing is contained in

A STORY OF A LITTLE CHILD.
There was once a little child, and he
was an only child; and dear friends
loved him and tried in every way to
make him happy. But he tired OF the
playthings they had given him, tired of
his rides and little walks; and often he
would come and lay his head upon
his mothers knee, and tell her he was
lonely, so very, very lonely. And then
his mother tried to comfort him, and
talked with him Of his beautiful toys, of
the kind friends who sought to make him
happy, and OF the dear love of father and
mother for him; and, while his mother
told him of these things, the child's heart
grew happier.
But day by day his loneliness in
creased and he oftener came to sit at his
mothers knee to listen to her cheering
words.
One day while he was sitting at her
knee, his mother asked him of his loneli-
ness; and the tears filled his deep blue
eyes as he answered her and said, 81 have
no brother for playmate"
And so it was that, when the child was
little more than three years old, baby
brother came to gladden. him. And day
by day and week by week and month by
month he never tired of watching him;
and he was very happy.
And when, little later, the first baby
footsteps, lettering and weak, we're taken,
the child's hand guided him; and his
heart was very proud and filled with hap
piness.
And as the baby grew the love of each
for the other strengthened, till their lives
seemed almost as one beautiful life. BY
day they played together. At night they
slept in each others arms. And they
we're never separated. The childs toys
were the baby's toys, and both were
happy.
But one unhappy day they quarreled-
the only quarrel of their bright young
lives-sbout trife, only few marbles
that the baby wanted and the child re-
fused; and because they quarreled they
were unhappy.
1t sadly happened that on that day the
baby brother sickened. And all the
night weeping friends watched by his Lit.
tie crib, doing what love could do; but
each hour his life grew feebler, till he
died.
The little hands were crossed tenderly
over his breast, the sweet rosebud lips
smiled peacefully; and the baby was
beautiful in death as he had been beau
tiful in life.
And while they watched over his life
less body, at midnight they heard beside
the little coffin gentle footsteps and
broken sobs; and as the watchers looked
they saw child, alone and broken-heart-
ed, bending over the pale lips, which he
kissed piteously. They stood moment,
moved by tender pity, and then with gen
tie persuasion led him from the room.
And as they passed by the coffin they
saw in the dead baby's hands-and won
dered at 1.-THE marbles over which baby
and child had quarreled-the only sad and
passionate atonement which the loving
living child could make to the loved dead
baby for the single sorrow he had ever
given it.-Christidn Register.

Nor truly, was lightly deemed
Or used by kings and statesmen less.

In the green isle on peace intent,
Have seen me in my hateful mien

Where music browns our care and pain
Again, where funeral dirges pail.
And sometimes on the embattled plain.
With wings sometimes cleave the sky,

In mills where busy shuttles fly;

ScrofuIous

Humors are caused by yitiated condi-
ton of the blood which carries disease to
every tissue and fibre of the body. Ayers
Sarsaparilla purifes and invigorates the
blood, and eradcates all traces of the
scrofulous faint from the system.
I have used Ayers Sarsaparilla, in my
family, for Scrofula, and know, if it is
taken faithfully, that it will thoroughly
eradicate this terrible disease. l have
also prescribed it as tonic, as well as an
Alternative, and honestly believe it to be the
best blood medicine compounded. W. f.
Flower, NJ. D., ID. ID. s., Greenville, Tenn.
For years my daughter was troubled
with Scrofulous Humors, Loss of Appetite,
and General Debility. She took Ayers
Sarsaparilla, and, in few months, was
Cured
Since then, whenever she feels debiitated,
she resorts to this medicine, and always
with most satisfactory results. w.
Fullerton, 80 w. Third ST., Lowell, Mass.
I was very much afflicted, about year
ago, with Scrofulous Sores ON my face
and body. / tried several remedies, and
was treated by number of physicians,
but received no benefit until commenced
taking Ayers Sarsaparilla. Since using
this medicine the sores have all disap-
peared, and feel, to-day, like a new man:
/ am thoroughly restored to health and
strength. Taylor James, Versailles, Ind.
The many remarkable cures which have
been effected by the use of
Ayers Sar
saparilla, furnish convincing evidence of
its wonderful medicinal powers.
